Avro Lancaster Bombers

[Scimitar]

The last two remaining airworthy Lancaster bombers (one of which has flown here from Canada) are due to fly from Coningsby to Derwent Dams on sunday. Weather permitting I guess. They are due at the Dams at 16.45.
I don't know if they'll fly over Chesterfield on their way, but I'm sure you'll hear them if they do. Eight 12 cylinder Merlin engines aren't that quiet!!
This gave me goosebumps. Watch it all the way through. Its the Dambuster Squadron (617) theme played at Lincoln Cathedral with a perfectly timed flyover of the British surviving Lancaster.
Turn it up & break out the tissues!

It was good last year when they flew over the dams, lancaster, spitfire and a 2 GR4'S if i went to this id feel cheated with less aircraft 

Id set off early though if going, parking will be a nightmare and mass traffic jams 

Would love to see the vulcan fly over the dams but cant see that happening at all.

I wonder where they will go after the dams, down the valley, past curbar, chatsworth etc?

If anyone is going, the time has changed to 16.15

As anyone found out the flight path to the Dams yet

[simondjuk]

They are coming up from Southport so it be any route.  Im keeping a look out as im going up to see them.

Glad its a lovely day

[simondjuk]

Sorry, coming across from Southport

Looking at Google maps its about 75 miles.  They are due to flyover Southport and 3pm and Derwent at 4.15.

They must be going elsewhere first and at a guess a little North so they can approach from the right end of the dam.
